Abstract
Sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) are a bioelectrochemical system that can convert a wide range of organic matter contained in the sediment to electricity. SMFCs have received a lot of attention from researchers recently due to their wide applications such as wastewater treatment, remediation of organic matter-rich sediments, and powering remote oceanographic instruments such as sensors, telemetry systems, and monitoring devices. Applying plants into SMFCs leads to a constructed wetland microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC) mimetic structure. This chapter introduces the working principle of SMFCs and constructed wetland (CW) and evaluates the factors influencing the performance of both of them, including electrode material, spacing and external resistance, catalyst, mediators, plants, and operating conditions.
